"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others…" -John Stuart Mill

"In the old days, we used to celebrate if somebody had a baby, we used to chip in and help him out with the hospital bills, if he happened to be hard-pressed for the moment.
